Classes at the Southern Cross University Melbourne, Sydney and Perth branch campuses will close for the year-end holiday season from 17 December to 4 January 2019. Ben McCully, SVP for Southern Cross University Partnership, made the official announcement, which was also communicated to students by the respective campus administrators of the three campuses.

A skeletal staff, however, will still be available during Week 1 to handle urgent matters and enquiries from education agents and students. On Weeks 2 and 3, the campuses will still be closed but the whole team will be back at work and will be operating as normal.

Classes will resume on 7 January 2019 and all students are required to attend.
